Upper Lake Constance, Europe hotel rooms at the Independent

"Gut, gemütlich, gutes Frühstück"

"Beautiful hotel with everything you could want and more. Friendly staff, a lovely relaxing roof top terrace. Free coffee from the machine 24/7. Lovely room, air conditioned which was needed, patio, coffee machine, lovely big bed, large tv with WiFi, fridge, nice bathroom, rainfall shower. Not too far from the local train station, I comfortably walked it. An Aldi on route too, I bought my own breakfast so can’t comment on the food. "

"Excellent stay here. Rooms were great, comfortable and clean. Front desk staff lovely and helpful. Breakfast staff not so pleasant, but overall would highly recommend this hotel. "

"Very cool location "

"Modern hotel, on the river front with good amenities. Very light and airy. It is a 20 minute or so walk from the old town / railway station which suited me but worth bearing in mind. My room was large and spacious with a partial view of river. Very pleasant dining room, overlooking river where they serve a very good breakfast with huge choice. On top floor there is a spa, relaxing atmosphere - I booked a massage and the therapist was delightful. Reception staff were helpful and cleaning staff accommodated a special request I had. Great place for a few nights in a lovely town, plenty of nature and walking options nearby."

"I assume that this place operates in a different way in Winter and Summer because the restaurant and reception were closed during our stay and it was very unclear whether they were operating a breakfast service or not. I did not realise when I booked that the reception is (apparently) only staffed until 6pm. I emailed the hotel to say we would be later than that, but received no reply. We arrived to find the front door bolted and no sign of anyone around. Eventually I thought to look in my emails and discovered a message from them with instructions for how to get in via the lockbox. The room was lovely and had a great view. Only coffee was provided in the room, tea would have been very welcome. The room was very, very hot. We turned the heating off. We stayed for a weekend and saw no staff apart from a cleaner and a server at breakfast. We ordered Sunday breakfast in advance by email as requested, but papers in the room suggested there was no breakfast service. Then on Sunday they were doing breakfast. It was all a bit confusing. The parking is on-street unless you manage to bag one of their three spaces and the street is very popular. All in all it felt like a very hands-off operation - more like an AirBnB than a hotel."

"What a beautifully renovated hotel in a cute historical town. Francesca was so kind; hospitality is her forte!! Will return in summed months to enjoy the lake! "
